From: Shaibal Dutta <[email protected]>
Garbage collector work does not have to be bound to the CPU that scheduled
it. By moving work to the power-efficient workqueue, the selection of
CPU executing the work is left to the scheduler. This extends idle
residency times and conserves power.
This functionality is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected.
